AC / DC 's Backtracks Box -set The visual :

Updated Sept 29th :

Here's the link with lots of pics from the collector's box-set , the details for all the tracks on cd & dvd and so on....
http://www.acdcbacktracks.com/pages/3999219/?locale=en

The only thing I can say after seeing this : the so called "unreleased songs"... and the price they're selling it

SONY, FUCK YOU !!!
How can you sell something like this ?
There's NOTHING at all in this boxset , all the so-called unreleased songs are all well-known songs that any AC/DC fans already have.
Not mentioning all the songs from the "Live at Donington" & " No Bull"
This limited edition boxset is also manufactured in the USA which means that there are taxes (30 euros ) and shipping (45 euros ) so : 75 Euros to add to the price .
Don't tell me that SONY couldn't have manufactured it in Europe.
Fuckin' crooks.

Here's the visual for the box-set , out in mid -November

The Big Pink @ L' Album de la Semaine Paris Sept 22nd 2009

The Big Pink @ L' Album de la Semaine
Paris Sept 22nd 2009

Back to the famous Canal+ Tv Show this time to see Indus-electro band The Big Pink.
Many people are talking about them across the channel.
Their debut album is out shortly over here but it's not the first time that they're playing in Paris , I think they've already played twice in the capital a few months ago.
Anyway this was my first time , i'm not really into that kind of music but they've done a good set.
They're not to electro or indus and have cool atmospheric songs, of course every "dark" band has a bass that sounds like the one in Joy Division so they do.
They have a cute japanese girl on drums , maybe they should turn the guitar up a bit as it's barely distinct in the mix.
They also should smile or communicate with the audience but I guess it's part of their trip.
Nice set

Kings Of convenience are playing a private show in a secret location tomorow for the Blogotheque. They will ply a proper show @ Bataclan in November.
